I was with SOL almost from the beginning. I can only agree with the letter RC wrote. In know what an effort it cost to Kalle, Jacob and Jeroen to maintain this game on such an high level FOR FREE! It's a shame that an institution like RORC choose for money instead of good seamanship.
Good to see that a lot of the SOL-members have the same opinion. Keep up the good spirit of this game.

Thank you all for your supportive comments. I was somewhat apprehensive of sending it but I was jolly cross!! Guess you can work that out for yourselves!!

Anyway, thus far no acknowledgement and no reply. The email was submitted on the email form on the RORC website but the subject line read "FAO Commodore McIrvine - re RORC's action against SOL 9 August 2009".

Obviously if anyone else has a more personal email addy for the Commodore of RORC then I will be happy to use that too!

I just did what I could with the basic resources available to me this morning as I didn't want to delay.

Very well written RC, I am sure you reflect the sentiments of all of us sailing on SOL. I was dissappointed to wake up to find the race cancelled, and angered to learn the reason! I hope this reached it's intended mark and has some affect. Go the little guys!

Well done & said RC.

Perhaps sending it to ROLEx and all their different sales offices world wide would give an interesting result and perhaps some "power" and a pressure point from Rolex onto the RORC.

If we all sent emails, . . . . to all the offices etc. . . . .

Cheers!!

Well said. I agree with your sentiments. The RORC is sadly out of line on this one.
